I went to the hospital today for a thorough examination, had an EEG, and blood tests. The doctor said it was viral facial nerve palsy and prescribed many medications. He asked me to come back for tests in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. I'm very sad. Will I be able to recover from this illness?Doctor's answer:

For now, we can only try our best to treat it. Facial paralysis, also known as facial paralysis, can cause certain interference to the body. Symptoms include poor facial sensation, facial spasms, deviation of the mouth and eyes, and the reappearance of drooling. Therefore, acupuncture and massage are needed, and traditional Chinese medicine treatment is more effective. Prevent harm to the body.
